孕期体力活动(PA)对健康的益处已被注意到，但女性对PA安全性的看法却鲜有研究。目标。研究PA参与度、安全感和人口学特征之间的关系。2006年4月至10月，孕妇从密西西比州大急流城(美国)的9家诊所招募。报告了人口统计学、参与中度和剧烈PA以及两种强度的感知安全性(5分Likert评分)。采用Logistic回归分析进行关联度估计。在342名符合条件的妇女中，296人提供了完整的PA信息。大多数人(88%)参加了一些PA，认为适度PA是安全的(89%)，但只有36%的人认为剧烈PA是安全的。对中度PA感到不安全/不确定与非白人种族/民族、低教育程度、低收入、没有参加中度PA和/或不打算在怀孕期间参加活动有关。西班牙裔种族、低教育程度、无生育能力、没有参加中等或剧烈的PA与对剧烈PA感到不安全/不确定有关。孕妇通常认为适度的PA是安全的，但对重度PA则不太确定。需要做更多的工作来让孕妇了解适度PA的好处，特别是在非白人和低教育/收入人群中。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Health benefits of physical activity (PA) during pregnancy have been noted, but women's perceptions of PA safety have been little studied. Objectives. To examine associations among PA participation, safety perceptions, and demographic characteristics.Methods. Pregnant women were recruited from nine clinics in Grand Rapids, MI (USA) from April to October, 2006. Demographics, participation in moderate and vigorous PA, and perceived safety of both intensities (5-pt Likert scales) were reported. Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate associations.Results. of 342 eligible women, 296 provided complete PA information. Most (88%) participated in some PA and felt moderate PA was safe (89%), but only 36% felt vigorous PA was safe. Feeling unsafe/unsure about moderate PA was associated with non-White race/ethnicity, low education, low income, not participating in moderate PA, and/or not intending to be active during pregnancy. Hispanic ethnicity, low education, nulliparity, and not participating in moderate or vigorous PA were associated with feeling unsafe/unsure about vigorous PA.Conclusions. Pregnant women generally feel that moderate PA is safe, but are less certain about vigorous PA. More work is needed to inform pregnant women about the benefits of moderate PA, especially among non-White and low education/income populations. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
